I have decided that my post sounded like I was way too concerned about bugs---honestly was more concerned about reasonable amts to cut it down to before washing. I thought maybe all 13 yards was a bit too much to try to wash in my front loader machine. Anyway, thanks for all the tips. I am just thrileeld about the amt of fabric I got for 4.00. Obvious to me the person who priced it had no idea how much it would cast at the store. :thumbup:
